“We created the era of speed, but we feel trapped within it. The machine, which produces abundance, has left us in poverty. Our knowledge has made us skeptical; our intelligence, hardened and cruel. We think too much and feel too little. More than machines we need humanity, more than intelligence we need affection and sweetness. Without these virtues, life will be one of violence and everything will be lost.” Charlie Chaplin. Final speech from the film “The Great Dictator”, 1940
